1:14:18

This week on the Gadgets for Families Tech show, Jason and I had a pretty lengthy and in-depth conversation about the concept of Digital Nomadism. What is digital nomadism? Would we consider it?

Welcome to Leader's Lift. I'm your host Greg Cunningham. Today I want to announce that I'm going to be putting a pause on this podcast.

45: Curiosity as a Skill 21:23

6M ago21:23

21:23

Summary This week I spend a few minutes talking about why I believe curiosity is an important, yet underdeveloped skill. Key Takeaways Curiosity is more than wanting to know something. It's about wanting to know and then use that knowledge to get more out of life. Everything changes and if you aren't curious, you may just get left behind. Without c…

Summary One of my keys this year is figuring out how to be more deliberate about the most important things I'm working on. If you have that same goal, then a tool that may help you do so is to figure out what kind of journaling works for you.

7M ago19:13

19:13

Summary This is part two of my end of year series and is focused on the concept of a "minimum viable plan". This is an adaptation of agile software development methodology.

38: The Voices (sources of information) We Allow Into Our Lives 20:38

8M ago20:38

20:38

Summary A little bit different topic for this week's episode. This is an initial discussion about the voices that we listen to or the sources of information that we allow to influence our lives and eventually help us form our own voices. There are so many voices, way too many our negative and yet we still need to find a way to sort through them, av…

37: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...The Time When Introverts Might Struggle More 25:40

8M ago25:40

Summary The holidays are practically upon us and I had a conversation with my g4f co-host and that made me realize that I wanted to be more deliberate about the holidays this year. Let me explain.

35: Rush, Rush, Rush 20:48

9M ago20:48

20:48

Summary Over the last while I have noticed that I have been in a rush even when I didn't need to be. And when I look back, I've been doing this for a long time. Sometimes speed is the most important. But there are certainly impacts from rushing, either through something or from one thing to another. And those impacts may mean that rushing is not th…

34: Tools for Moving Down the Path to Our Most Potential 30:59

9M ago30:59

30:59

Summary I have realized that over the last few months, my episode topics have been less about what we would consider traditional leadership and more about things that help us in life, tools that help us move down the path towards our goals and our fullest potential. I figured it was time to do a recap. So that's what this episode is. Key Topics & T…

33: Thrive, Survive or Somewhere In-Between 28:28

9M ago28:28

28:28

Summary I threw out a survey on social media on what I should cover for this weeks topic. If you didn't see that, make sure you follow me on Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn (where I publish the most stuff). The topic ended up being Thriving vs. Surviving. Now the reality is that it's not a one or the other situation and we all fall somewhere in betw…

32: Balance the Metaphorical Teeter Totter 29:20

10M ago29:20

29:20

Summary This last week I have been wrestling with a few topics I believe are related. For all of them, it's about finding a good middle ground versus going to extremes. So this week's episode is about the balance forcing things and being complacent, self care vs. just powering thru and then working on the guilt that comes when you don't go full thr…

31: No Really, Rubbing Dirt On it is Not the Answer 22:16

10M ago22:16

22:16

Summary I had another pretty large personal experience last week that reminded me how important it is for us to be more deliberate in life. I was pretty sick and then got the word that my dad had passed away. Even with that, I still struggled to apply some of the lessons I have been sharing with y'all. So today, I thought I'd take a slightly differ…

29: There is No Perfect Time to Jump from a Moving Train 19:15

10M ago19:15

19:15

Summary Instead of waiting around for perfection as I discussed last week, we should be more deliberate and think about when good enough is good enough. In this week's episode of Leaders Lift, I'll talk about what that means and how we can shift our thinking so we aren't sitting around waiting for perfection that will probably never arrive. Join me…

28: Hobbits & Perfect Moments 26:17

11M ago26:17

26:17

Summary Most of us either sit around waiting for the perfect moment or opportunity to take that next step down the path to our most potential, or we try and "make it happen". Neither of those extremes will consistently work out for us. Instead, we need to be deliberate, take advantage of the present and diligently watch for the right (not perfect) …

27: Don't Just Rub Some Dirt On It 29:39

11M ago29:39

29:39

Summary We are all going to face hard times in our lives. In general, most people will follow one of two extreme paths. They will try and power through it or they will run away.

25: Negative Stories We Tell Ourselves & Their Impact 35:58

11M ago35:58

35:58

Summary This week I got thinking about how all the negativity in the world starts to influence the stories we tell ourselves and makes them negative as well. These are stories about ourselves, others and our lives. The problem is that they are rarely founded in reality and they can have a serious impact on our lives. They distract us from what is m…

12M ago44:53

44:53

Summary After last weeks episode on focusing on what matters most I got a piece of feedback that changed the plans for this episode. The essential question in the feedback was what do you do when you feel lost or maybe don't know if what matters most has changed.

Summary Soccer season is about to wrap up here in Utah. As I have watched my sons team play, there have been several things I have observed.

1+ y ago40:55

40:55

Summary So many of us tend to go at full throttle all of the time. It doesn't seem to matter if it's in our personal or professional lives. In fact, if you do it in one area, odds are you will do it in all areas. If that's the case, your weekends, which many use to take a break from work, are just as busy and stressful as the weekdays, maybe even m…
